C98 (1/2)

”Xiao Xi, we're here.” Seeing that the carriage had stopped, Gu Li pulled Ye Xi up and said.

Ye Xi shook his head, then got out of the carriage with Gu Li.

Standing in front of the old-fashioned signboard, Ye Xi and Gu Li looked at each other. The clothes the two of them were wearing were stuck to their bodies by the cold wind blowing from the front and back.

Gu Li swallowed his saliva, ”Damn, how do I have the guts to act the part of Phantom Town's boss!”

From front to back, the few people who occasionally passed by were all elderly people who had grown up, and their faces were expressionless. She and Gu Li, the two living people, stood in front of them as if they were transparent.

Ye Xi's back felt numbed, and he couldn't help but clench Gu Li's hand, ”Shed, do you remember the class monitor's address?”

”I remember.” Gu Li said, then pulled Ye Xi along while politely following behind an old grandpa, and asked: ”Grandfather, do you know where # 167 is?”

The old grandfather turned his wrinkled face over. His two muddy eyes were cloudy as he looked faintly at Gu Li and Ye Xi, but he did not speak.

Gu Li and Ye Xi's scalps were numb from his gaze. Just as they were about to ask the next person, the old grandpa suddenly raised his withered hand and pointed forward, his voice hoarse. ”Ahead of you, turn, go straight.

”...” ”Oh, oh, thank you grandpa.” Gu Li was startled, but quickly nodded and replied.

Ye Xi also nodded politely towards the old grandpa.

Then, Gu Li and Ye Xi walked forward.

Standing in front of a door that had two doors open, Ye Xi pulled the knocker on the door and knocked, ”Is anyone there?”

What answered her was a desolate wind.

Ye Xi frowned, and knocked a few more times, ”Is there anyone here? Is anyone there? ”

There was still no sound from inside.

Gu Li stood at the door and looked at the dirty water in front of his door, as well as the street that looked like it was about to collapse.

She pursed her lips, turned and looked at Ye Xi: ”Maybe Su Su's family has moved away, and won't stay here anymore?”

Ye Xi remained silent for a second, then knocked on the door once again, not giving up. ”Susu, it's me, Susu. Are you inside?

After a while, there was complete silence.

Ye Xi could not help but be disappointed, he sighed, then looked at Gu Li: ”Let's go.”

Gu Li nodded.

The two of them turned around and walked towards the street entrance.

However, before he could get far, he heard the creaking sound of a door opening behind him.

Ye Xi and Gu Li's eyes lit up at the same time, and they turned to look.

He saw a woman with messy hair and thick makeup leaning on the door and looking at the two of them.

Ye Xi blinked his eyes and looked at Gu Li.

Only then did the two of them walk towards the woman.
